Both systems had a rough start but when it comes to the 3DS selling over the Vita:

- It's marketed better
- The 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games.
- It costs less
- The fanbase of some of the more well known series on it (Think of games like Megaman Legends 3 that was supposed to be a system seller, or the Pokemon games, Animal Crossing, etc)
- More multiplayer games
- StreetPass is an excellent way of discovering fellow gamers (at my job there are 5 people that have a 3DS and only my self and my friend have Vitas) and provides some nice non game breaking benefits to a number of games.
-The Vita has more enhanced ports rather than new games or series continuations, such as, FFX and Disgaea.
-A number of the similar games on the Vita are outclassed by ones of the 3DS in terms of gameplay, challenge and/or overall fun. A perfect example of this is while there are more raid style games on the Vita (Ragnarok ACE, Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden: The Age of Demons) Monster Hunter on the 3DS is still a lot better.

Nintendo is still focused on pushing out quality games on their handhelds, Sony is not. And if you look at their track record, if there has been one thing Nintendo has done right, it has been with their handheld systems. Even way back when SEGA pushed out the GameGear with color and Nintendo games were still without color, the gameboy still had a larger library of games and better battery life which mattered more to people who tend to like portable gaming. And that is still the same with the 3DS and Vita now.

I own both and I like both, but I play my 3DS more and that will increase when SSB4 comes out. And talk about system sellers, especially with the 2DS being dirt cheap and there's nothing major coming our for the Vita this summer? Be prepared to see a whole lot more people with them.
